Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 28
Simon Adrian's magical recording continues:

"Dear fellow necromancer, although my magic laboratory is happy to receive you as a VIP, for security reasons, this iron gate will only be opened for you if you follow me and tell me a 'security secret'!"

"Security Secrets"?
—Master Laurie suddenly became alert.

The so-called magician is a profession that deals with mysterious forces, which means that some things that are insignificant to ordinary people must be handled carefully when they are in the circle of magicians.

And "language" is something that magicians need to pay special attention to in their daily life.

For ordinary people, it's not a problem to say a word, spit and scold the street, at most, it annoys others to be slapped, but magic practitioners with magical power, they say Every word and every sentence of , may resonate with the tide of magic and cause unintended consequences!

After all, to put it bluntly, the spell that the mage recites when casting magic is just a special Aeolian ancient text!

Through a specific combination of words and voices, it is a normal operation to stimulate magic power fluctuations and form a spell-like effect.
Therefore, Adrian's message made Master Laurie have to be vigilant: Adrian's meaning is very simple - as long as the lord reads a sentence following his recording, the door of the magic laboratory will be opened, which seems completely It is a process that is harmless to humans and animals and is not dangerous;

But Master Laurie remembered clearly that Simon Adrian was a legendary figure who had reached the eighth-order "Archmage" before his death!

For a magician of Adrian's level, concocting a text with hidden magic effects couldn't be easier!
If the lord really reads it word by word and follows the passages in the recording, not to mention any harmful magical effects that may be triggered, even if the soul is enslaved by this senior magician 800 years ago, it is not impossible !

Among the eighth-order "archmages" in history, which one is not the top master who roams the ocean of magic research?Which is not the dragon among people who has gone through countless trials of life and death and crawled out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses?Which is not an old-fashioned fried dough stick with a delicate mind and exquisite skills?
Even though he himself has died, it is too easy for Simon Adrian to leave a text trap for the descendants 800 years later!

Master Laurie had to guard!

Seeing that Lord Lord was eager to try, Master Laurie suddenly took two steps forward, grabbed Lord Lord's sleeve and said hurriedly:

"Beware of fraud!"

After being reminded by the master, Xia Houyan, who was also educated in magic, immediately realized the danger.

However, Adrian's magic laboratory is behind this iron gate. The magic rhythm left by this legendary mage is likely to be displayed on a table in the laboratory!

This may very well be the only chance to be able to manipulate the rolling corpses and bring the convoy safely out of the infection zone!

Now that half of the pants are taken off, you can't back down at this critical moment and fall short of success, right?

Xia Houyan gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, then said:
"Anyway, let's first listen to this senior Adrian, what the secret text he asked me to read... If it doesn't feel right, let's find a way!"

Master Laurie nodded: Now it can only be like this...

The two modern wizards are still tangled, and the recording of Simon Adrian has continued:
"Dear fellow necromancer, in order to open the door to the laboratory, please follow me and repeat the following sentence-"

Xia Houyan took a deep breath and listened nervously.

All I could hear was Adrian's recording, and he read out the "Security Secret":
"'Simon Adrian is a tough guy!'"

Xia Houyan and Master Laurie were dumbfounded.

The three Igor family guards looked at each other.

This... what the hell is this "security secret"? !
Iron guy? !

The lord has every reason to suspect that any "security" is an excuse. The shameless Adrian just wants to hear others compliment him!
Without waiting for Master Laurie to make any response, Xia Houyan had already turned his heart away, and followed Adrian's recording and said through gritted teeth:
"Yes... I have to say one thing, Simon Adrian is a handsome guy..."

The air was silent for a moment, and Adrian's gleeful recording sounded again:
"No signs of nausea, vomiting, or insincerity detected, security clearance passed! Welcome to Adrian's Magic Lab, dear fellow Necromancer!"

There was a loud noise from the depths of the ground. The metal door that had previously blocked everyone's way, sank into the ground with a harsh rubbing sound amid the rustling dust, and slowly removed the magic laboratory hidden behind it. Exposed in front of Xia Houyan:

This is an extra spacious circular hall, where visible to the naked eye, you can clearly see that there are twelve marble columns in the center of the hall arranged in a circle, which play a load-bearing role for the underground space;

As the door opened, the giant magic crystals inlaid on the marble columns lighted up one by one, and a warm bright yellow light instantly illuminated the entire hall.

As a result, the Igor family and his party saw the panorama of the magic laboratory:

The smooth tiled floor, the white marble walls, the circular ceiling carved with the images of ancient gods, and the ebony bookshelves placed in a circle around the edge of the hall - the furnishings in the whole laboratory are completely free of any decay or spoilage. There were no signs of dust floating in the air. This spotless, clean and bright environment was in stark contrast to the dilapidated and filthy old house on the ground.

In the outer part of the magic laboratory, there are six arc-shaped long tables. Master Laurie and Xia Houyan can see at a glance that the long table is full of crystal jars, strange-shaped colorful crystals, and neatly stacked sheepskin scrolls. , all of which are precious possessions that magicians depend on for a living!

However, everyone's eyes were undoubtedly attracted by the thing in the center of the hall.

It was a bronze statue more than two meters high and delicate in shape.

The main body of the statue is a man who stands with his head held high and dignified. He wears a richly carved aristocratic robe, his half-length hair is meticulously combed, and his appearance is even more handsome. His full cheekbones and indifferent lips are full of people. The unique chic beauty of middle-aged and weathered.

The round-headed staff that the man holds in his hand, which is as tall as a person, and the magic book with skull pattern hanging on his waist, reveal the identity of the character depicted in this statue without a doubt:
Simon Adrian, the legendary eighth-order archmage, the undead genius of necromancy!

Standing in front of the bronze figure that forced Gramman, the five members of the Igor family were speechless for a moment.

"What kind of person is in his own laboratory," Tom Lawrence asked dryly, "to have a bronze statue of himself?"

Xia Houyan thought about it seriously and gave the only reasonable answer:
"... Iron handsome guy."
